Whew! It has been a great start to the holiday season. We had a low-key Thanksgiving feast with dear friends, followed by a much-needed trip to Charleston.

Cooking is so much fun when there’s good company and most importantly, good tunes! My friend J’Alicia and Da Sexy Beast and myself, produced a bangin’ dinner. I made my bacon grease bathed turkey. D rolled out some lip smacking seafood stuffed artichokes, and oyster dressing! J and her accomplice whipped up a batch of super fluffy potatoes. We really threw down!

We squeezed in a hilarious game of Taboo. Word on the street is that I’m a “ringer”. My years and years of bookworming and general nerdiness have paid off!

It’s been a nice break from the everyday rigmarole. Finals are right around the corner. Time to buckle down.
